Although I don't totally agree, thank-you for sharing. I pray that God would bless you and that you would live in utter submission to His will, whatever it might be!! :)AnnaKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831355018625698259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738113208687352963.post-63308390786967608302011-06-25T10:14:19.234-07:002011-06-25T10:14:19.234-07:00Glad to see someone else shares my mindset :) And ...Glad to see someone else shares my mindset :) And yes, Cambodia was fabulous.Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290740555574464189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738113208687352963.post-30633439328727356522011-06-14T16:10:23.447-07:002011-06-14T16:10:23.447-07:00I find this interesting, because I happen to feel ...I find this interesting, because I happen to feel the same way. There's too much that I want to do, and I feel that having a husband or even just being in a relationship would make me change my mind or make decisions based on how it would affect the other person. I don't want to be held back by someone else, and I don't know of any guy that would want to even try to keep up with me :)<br /><br />Also, a verse about this subject: 1 Corinthians 7:34-35-- "An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world--how she can please her husband. (35) I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivied devotion to the Lord."<br />Singleness is a gift from God so that your thoughts can be more focused on pleasing Him-not split between pleasing two.<br /><br />But then again, it's not that marriage isn't important, but it's not for everyone. I do think it's a very honorable thing to be a wife and mother, after all, the biggest influences in our lives tend to be our parents, but I don't think that's where God wants me.<br />Also, I don't see myself getting married because Biblically, a man is the head of the family. And I don't want to give up that freedom; to let a (sinful, like myself) human make decisions that affect me. I'm independant, and I couldn't be a very obedient wife if my husband told me to not have a job, or wanted to move somewhere far away, or something like that. When the only one you're answering to is God, you know he's not going to make a bad decision. So yeah. There's my little rant. :)<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying Cambodia!<br /><br />-Emily, Onceuponaworddocument.blogspotEmily... but you can call me Galindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495501472875912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738113208687352963.post-25910800715826541912011-06-02T16:28:36.082-07:002011-06-02T16:28:36.082-07:00I think it's great that you have goals and kno...I think it's great that you have goals and know what you want to do. :) A home for pregnant teenagers sounds like a great idea, though I don't know if it's quite my thing... I don't know how I'd do with so many "bi-polar pregnant teenagers" around, as you put it! ;)<br /><br />Very interesting, thanks for sharing! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
